Progress Kemp LoadMaster Reviews & Product Details

I use Progress Kemp LoadMaster for load balancing, SSL offload, and its built-in WAF to help protect against the OWASP Top 10. I like that it is easy to set up and switches over very quickly when a server goes down. Developers no longer have to worry about backend server failures taking their websites down, and it helps them work with SSL certificates when they have many websites.

I would like to see more DDoS, API, and bot protection, along with a stronger WAF. Other vendors are very strong in these areas, and Progress Kemp LoadMaster could be better if it develops these features further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Kemp LoadMaster for its ease of implementation, robust yet easy to use features, seamless integration and affordable price point. I primarily use it for application delivery in an on-prem environment, where I have a high-availability setup to ensure reliability and minimize downtime. Their tech support is some of the best I have ever interacted with across all major technology vendors. My main focus is on load balancing for custom web applications. Kemp LoadMaster’s straightforward configuration and strong performance make it an ideal choice for efficiently distributing traffic while keeping management simple and cost-effective.

Recent RMA process for just a failed power supply: They sent an entire new LB instead which was far more complicated to replace than just a PSU. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems very fast and efficient to me. The interface is also simple. I appreciate the feature of conditional rules to differentiate traffic on different servers and the ability to limit the number of connections for DDoS protection. These features are quite easy to use. Additionally, the initial deployment is simple and I found it a good starting point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
